Broken Mates
Chapter 4

Whatever!

Tristan opened the door, beaming. He was so happy. Why wouldn't he? His son just called him dad. Dad! That has never happen before. Okay, it might be because he had no child. He was just happy. He couldn't wait to share this with Lvan.

He looked beside the door where he was sure Andrews was. He was taken back when he found the kid asleep with tears streaming down his eyes. He probably cried himself to sleep. Poor kid, he didn't deserve this. Tristan thought and picked up Andrews. He was just about to take him back into the room so he could have a good rest. The child has been through so much.

But then, Sandy appeared. "Oh, M-I mean, Tristan" Though Tristan permitted them to call him by his real name, they still had problems saying his real name sometimes. This was the alpha's mate for deities sake. They actually had problems saying it but I assure you Minna didn't.

The girl calls everyone by their first names like they're bestfriends even sometimes, the alpha of the pack wasn't spared. Again, Ivan didn't hate it either. He liked it when Minna called him by his first name.

Thinking about Andrews mom, Tristan decided to send Sandy. His mother will be devastated if there's no news about her son. "Sandy, can you please send a message to Andrews mom? tell her, her son will be sleeping over?"

Sandy looked at the sobbed kid who was asleep in Tristan's arms. She felt pity for the kid. He had been through so much all in the name of having a jerk bastard as a father.

"No problem" Sandy answered, bowed slightly and left, totally forgetting the reason why she came upstairs. Which will be to place the cleaned cloths in her arms to Colten's room. Because it was his cloths.

Rushing down the stairs, she came across Chris who was coming up. Noticing the cloths and the smell, Chris could tell Colten's cloths were clean, so, where was Sandy taking them? It couldn't be that Colten was planning to leave right?

When Sandy reached Chris, he stopped her by blocking her path. "That....." He pointed at Colten's cloths. Sandy looked at the cloths in her arms and said, "Shit" as she realised she forgot her first mission and ended up taken on another mission.

"Shit! Am supposed to bring them to Colten's room" she explained. Chris finally relaxed and breathed out in relieve when he realised he misunderstood.

"Don't worry, I'll do it" Chris said and took the cloths from Sandy. With a grateful look and smile, Sandy expressed her gratitude. "Thank you so much Chris"

"Is nothing" Chris said with a smile and walked by Sandy. True it was nothing? Why? Because he wasn't doing it to help Sandy but for his own personal gain. Colten didn't want to see him or be alone with him, but, coming there with his property, he will have no choice but to see Chris and let him in.

And that was the plan. A smile made its way on his lips as he thought about his great plan. Will it fail? Or will it succeed? We will all know soon.

*********

Chris stood outside Colten's room, nervous. F**k! When was the last time he was this nervous and, why was he nervous? It was just Colten. Okay, so, he wasn't just nervous but scared too. What if Colten didn't open the door? What if he pushed him away again? What if he's not even in there?

'So much what if? What? Are you the god of what if or something? Just knock. I want to see him too. I miss him' his wolf said.

He also missed him. He missed how they used to talk, joke around, play away, he missed Colten's dragon. He recalled how he used to gently ran his hand on him when he turned. His dragon was always clingy. When Colten turned into his dragon form, he would aways be beside Chris. He wouldn't even allow him to go drink water or even go to the bathroom.

Damn! He even followed him to the bathroom when he finally allow Chris to go. The dragon was clinger than the one who brought clingy.

He smiled at the memory. "What are you doing here?" Colten's voice brought him out of the world of memories. He turned to face Colten who had a blank expression on his face. Shit! He couldn't read him anymore.

He scanned his friend. Colten wore his favorite T-shirt. It was a black shirt with Lucy and Natsu from a Japanese anime 'Fairy Tail', their picture on it. The shirt went well with the short white jeans he wore.

He then looked down at his feet, he wore nothing. He stood there barefooted and his feet also looked dirty. There were traces of mud. Realising now, it wasn't just his feet but his hands too.

'I'm sure he turned in the forest' Chris thought and he was right. Colten went to the forest and turned for a run. His dragon was bugging him to let him out for a play time he desperately needed.

"Let me help you" Chris said when he realised Colten wouldn't be able to open the door because his hands were dirty. This was his chance. Thank you deities!!

"No, thanks, I already asked for Minna's help" what a disappointment. And that was the look Chris shown Colten. Like Colten could read his mind, he crushed his hopes up.

It wasn't exactly a lie, Colten asked for Minna's help when he came in the house. How was he supposed to know Chris would be here? And even if he knew, he still would have asked Minna for help. He really, was the worst, wasn't he?

"What do you want?" Colten asked. "I brought your cloths" Chris show him the cloths in his arms with a smile. Knowing full well he just won this round of avoiding and ignoring. Colten sighed, knowing he just lost the game. Fine, just this once.
